Zandt was to-day denied admission.
the rain, opened the storm door,
and took shelter in the closed
entry. The moment the jailer saw her
Whiteface as she was appealing, and in
an humble tone she was asking to be
allowed TO go in, the doorkeeper shook
his head, saying that orders had been
given TO
KEEP HEB OUT.
Jsiler Folk was back somewhere in the
cage. She sent for him; he came out,
and in kindly, but very positive tone,
informed her that he was obliged to re-
fuse her entrance. She remained where

if not comprehending what was said.

up. He cannot be let out of his cell,
and you could not see him anyway, if
you did come in" Slowly the young

with painful steps she went out through
the jail yard and turned down the
alley. But the Jail door was opened
while Miss Van Zandt was in the shed.
II was opened for the aged Mrs. Engel,
who was accorded brief interview with
her husband. None other of the wives
or relatives of the Anarchists called to
see them this morning and

out of sight, back in their cells, and
there was no noise or movement of any
kind to be noted. The rain falling on
the sheet-iron roof was all that broke
the stiffness, except now and then the
heavy tread OF the officials going hither
and thither attending to the prepara-
tons for Fridays work.
All the interest just now belonging to
the fate of the doomed men has been
transferred to Springfield. Most of their
friends and sympathizers, and their
counsel as well, are out of town, inter
ceeding with the Governor.
WHAT WILL THE GOVERNOR Do?"
was query often heard about the jail
this morning. 1t was the general belief
that nothing final would be heard from
Springfield until tomorrow.
The Anarchists made no inquiry, nor
did they "xchange any words with each
other at all during the forenoon. What
ever were their hopes, their fears, their
wishes or their thoughts. they kept to
themselves. a few gas jets burned in
the corridor, but only served to make
the shadows deeper, and there, in
their narrow cells, are the men,
the length of whose lives can
now be counted by the hour. Only
their abs, nee of action of any kind
would indicate that they were busy
with reflection, all forenoon. This
stiffness was kept up. All over town,
quiet, but
EFFECTIVE WORKERS WERE ENGAGED
in attending to the multitude of ar
engagements that may have something
to do with the hanging. The waterworks
are being guarded, so are many of the
big buildings down town. New wires
have been strung from the Jail to the
Chicago Avenue Uolice station. Another
special wire has been put in between
the jail and the Central police station,
and still another wire between the jail
and the Harrison Street station. Should
there happen an uprising of any pro
portions, and the officers do not expect
any, ample means are available to
check it.
At240 this afternoon, the following
tie egram was received by Parsons in
Jail:
Sign Immediately the petition have pre-
pa ed for you, and get Engel and Fischer to
sign it Everything may depend upon this
your lives and Others-the public. For
Gods sake sign and wire me at once.
(Signed,) W. 2. BLACK.
Parsons at once declared the commu=
nication to be a fraud, as did also
Fischer, and Engel said he would sign
it if the others cid. The dispatch was
dated Springfield and was filed at Bpm.
The telegram was handed Parsons by
a messenger boy. who was accompanied
by Jailer FOlz. Parsons read the mes
sage over several times. Then he re-
ceipted for it and was turning away
with the remark that no appeal would
move him, when the messenger asked
him for 70 cents charges on the tele-
gram. Parsons returned the message
to the boy with instructions to
SEND IT BACK TO THE AUTHOR
and say that he Parsons) said it was
fraud, as Captain Black would not send
a message without paying for it.
A detective on duty near States At
torney Grinuell's house, last evening,
arrested, after a long chase, a man
whom he surprised at the door of the |
at late hour. The man was |
afra,gned in the police court, to day,
but no definite charge could be brought |
against him, so he was sent to the |
BrideWell on disorderly charge. The
officers who made the arrest say the |
man might have been armed when try |
ing to enter the house and easily have |
thrown away his arms during the chase. |
BLACK RETURNS.
SPRINGFIELD, November 9.-Captain
Black left for Chicago at o'clock to-
night, leaving ScheIling in charge. No
decision is expected from the governor !

gone TO Chicago to use all his power |
with Parsons, to induce him to sign the |
petition to the governor.
